When I've done vim updates in the past I aimed for once every 3 months. I also looked at Debian/Fedora/etc to find a version that someone else has already tested in a distribution - with vim having so many "releases" you have the same issue you'd get from picking a random commit off the master branch from another project. Matching against a version used somewhere else gives us something to compare to when we hit a bug.
